Oklahoma State baseball signee and prodigous professional prospect Jackson Holliday, the son of former All-Star slugger Matt Holliday (now an assistant at OSU) and the nephew of Josh Holliday (the head coach at OSU), was selected No. 1 overall in Sunday night’s MLB Draft.
Holliday, a Stillwater native, committed to OSU several years ago and signed with the school last fall, but has long been considered a wunderkind of kinds who was unlikely to ever play in college because of his pedigree and projection as a likely first-round pick. The selection all but assures he will not play with the Cowboys.
